The Team

Community Engagement Team 

For the past 10 years our  focus has been what’s strong not what’s wrong in communities. This approach is also known as strengths-based working or Asset Based Community Development. 

We work in partnership with other statutory agencies, voluntary and community organisations, and local people to help make Gloucester a place where everyone can have a good life.
